Flexing Your Digital Reader
By Virginia Prescott on Wednesday, July 9, 2008.
listen:
We’ve been hearing about the demise of the book for a long time. So far, few electronic readers have captured much of a market. Amazon’s Kindle and Sony’s E-Book both have sharp, high-resolution screens, and the capacity to store hundreds of titles. Yet they are bulky, about the size of a paperback, and don’t fit easily in your pocket. The next big breakthrough in digital books will be with flexible screens that can roll up or fold like paper.
Joining us with more about the technology is Greg Raupp. He’s the director of the Flexible Display Center at Arizona State University.
